An intoxicated 19-year-old motorcyclist without a valid driving license collided with the car of a 69-year-old woman in Blindenmarkt on Wednesday and subsequently fled from the police.

A 19-year-old motorcyclist collided with the car of a 69-year-old woman in Blindenmarkt (Melk district) on Wednesday. According to the authorities on Thursday, the young man was intoxicated and did not have a valid driving license, and the bike was also not registered for traffic. During the crash on the L6018, the Lower Austrian fled from a police patrol. The motorcyclist and the 69-year-old woman were injured and taken to the Amstetten State Hospital.

Drunk Motorcyclist Crashed into Car in Melk District

Officers noticed the motorcycle shortly before 8:00 PM on Wednesday. The 19-year-old crashed his bike into the turning car of the woman. The 69-year-old presumably overlooked the motorcycle due to the lack of a front light, according to a statement from the Lower Austria State Police Directorate. The man from the Scheibbs district is now being reported to the Melk District Authority and the St. Pölten Public Prosecutor's Office.

Two More Traffic Accidents in Lower Austria Resulted in Injuries

After two more traffic accidents, emergency medical helicopters were deployed in Lower Austria on Wednesday. In Weiden an der March (Gänserndorf district), a 54-year-old motorcyclist presumably crashed into a bridge railing due to excessive speed. The man was thrown into an adjacent field and seriously injured. "Christophorus 3" flew him to the Donaustadt Clinic in Vienna.

In the Kirchberg am Wechsel area (Neunkirchen district), a 46-year-old crashed his e-bike into a tree on a service road. The Lower Austrian was wearing a helmet but still suffered severe head injuries and was transported by "Christophorus 16" to the University Hospital Wiener Neustadt.
